Jamie Younger is the new owner of Franklins. Great to see him back on Lordship lane. 
Two fingers up to the idiots that forced him out of the Palmerston.

Excellent news!

I googled and came up with a thread from this forum about Jamie being forced out.

I had posted the link, but when I read the thread I didn't think it was appropriate to post because  It was started by Dulwich Fox, who sadly died last year (R.I.P.), and contained comments by and to him which were not relevant to the actual closure.

Very good news! The Palmerston flourished under Jamie, so Franklins will be in safe hands, I'm sure

Sad to hear about Mike Dulwich Fox he was a local lad born and brought up in the area.

I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades.

R.I.P to foxy

As I sat collecting my thoughts in the Bishop at close to midnight after the birth of my first daughter back in 2011, it was DulwichFox who approached me and asked if I was SeanMacGabhann - spoke to him many times over the years (more than once at random on the tiny alfresco bit that used to be outside Tandoori Nights) RIP Mike

That's really sad to hear, I don't think he'd been well for quite some time.

I met him once, quiet and unassuming, very different to his curmudgeonly EDF persona.

One of the Forum's  great characters.

Yes he had not been very well for about the last 2 or 3 years but was making some progress, we use to see him down LL getting his shopping and stop and catch up on all matters Ed.

I Pm'd just before Christmas and received no reply which was not like him so I did have concerns about his health but I had no other means of contacting him.

    • So, private polling for Labour in London puts Labour and the Lib Dems with the same number of seats on Southwark Council come May. It’s not clear from this Guardian article (link below) if that will be all due to Labour losses or if the Lib Dems will actually make some gains in Southwark. Either way, the Greens are set for a massive surge in seats across London, if the polling is correct. Labour urged to listen to progressive voters or face ‘political earthquake’ in London | Labour | The Guardian
    • I shouted at someone who pushed by me on the tube last week, as they got off I said your could least say "excuse me". Somebody told me "they did".  Whoops, humble pie. I have no idea whether the original poster overreacted. I have done far too many times, and try (or should try harder) to learn from this, and do regret not handling things better/calmer.  I expect most of have similar 'guilty' secrets. There's a separate thread on why, being British, we apologise when it is not our fault, or when we simply want to get past someone.  Excuse me (and/or thank you when they move out of your way) is appropriate.  Even people who you wouldn't fancy meeting on a dark alley do this.  And I apologise for being so judgmental, I couldn't find the right words.   (if you remember this ad you may be considered by some to be old)  
    • Leon came to do a full electrical check and sort out some problem lights yesterday. He came on time, was very polite and friendly and was a pleasure to do business with. He didn’t laugh at me when one of the problems was very badly designed lights (even if they look great) where the bulbs needed to be changed. He’ll probably get years of repeat business from these lights. His rates are very reasonable and I don’t hesitate to recommend him. p.s I found him on this forum but have only just joined, specifically to leave Leon a review.
